Unfortunately not, Opera requires some newer instructions to keep being competitive in the speed race. Here are Opera's requirements:

I'm afraid you'll have to update your computer. But finding a Pentium II shouldn't be hard

Then isn't the text wrong?
Opera will run on any modern Linux distribution and FreeBSD 7 or later with Xorg installed, on i386 and x86_64 CPUs (emphasis mine).
After all, DSL claims to run fine on 486 computers: "light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram" http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ With the text as given, I'd expect to possibly be able to run Opera on a 486DX with 16MB of RAM*, albeit rather slowly.
* I'm not sure if I'd necessarily expect it to run on 16MB of RAM, but at least on such a processor.

For the record though, a couple of years ago I would've sent you my old P3 1Ghz (640MB RAM) for free other than shipping costs, considering it was doing nothing but taking up space. I have no idea if it's still in use somewhere or if it has been dismantled, but I agree that finding something better shouldn't be terribly hard to do.
